Unfortunately I have hit a dead end and not sure which way to turn. Over the last few months I have been changing my desktop around which resulted in me to quiet frequently reload Linuxcnc into Mint 20 all with no problems. For some reason CNC has disappeared from the Mint menu so now have no access to create/edit HAL files etc. I can launch Linuxcnc by using the "Find Application" but that is all.
I have cleaned out all reference to Linuxcnc within the Synaptic package manager and reloaded following the exact procedure in this listing to no avail. I can look into the "Menu Editor" which does contain the CNC folder with two entries being Documentation and G-Code quick reference.
My next option is to reinstall Mint however if anybody has a suggestion I could try before doing that.
Thanks in advance
Thanks. I have tried that and every other combination of , recently used, all applications, accessories but nothing points to Linuxcnc. Only can load as previously described.
It is no big deal to wipe my drive and start afresh but just wonder why and if it will resolve.
I have no idea as to why this happened but you can easily create your own starter icon on the desktop that executes a terminal command to start linuxcnc.
